Nexus query
Is it usually so difficult to schedule the NEXUS interview? I looked today and the next available interview at Pearson is 3 February, which is over 2 months away.

Usually the airport enrolment centres are busier plus they are probably still backlogged from the US government shut down earlier in the year. Keep an eye out for a cancellation or else try and use one of the non-airport centres, sometimes they have quicker availability.

I'm told if you go to the border by Buffalo/Niagara it can be quicker but is it worth the 4 hour+ round trip?
Nexus is great by the way. Totally worth the money.

Re: Nexus query
IIRC, you can reschedule your appointment online - lots of people do this, and typically slots open up as folk shuffle their appointments around (particularly if you're trying to get a set of appointments for a family lined up).
If you can do Fort Erie, it's definitely work working in a quick hop across the bridge - visit the Albright-Knox museum, get groceries (and beer you can't get at the LCBO) at Wegmans (we've declared a couple of mixed six-packs on trips like this and never had an issue - usually along with a couple of hundred dollars of shopping in total). You could always head across to Lewiston and hit the outlet mall, and come back over the Queenston Bridge.

Yep 2-3 months is normal. The upside is you don't need to do it again upon renewal.

Re: Nexus query
Thanks all for the feedback.
Got the invitation back in early October and was offered an appointment the following week, which unfortunately wasn’t convenient - if I’d realized such a speedy option was unlikely to appear again, I would have rescheduled my other commitment � ����
